 All users are encouraged to upgrade.
 
-New in 3.1.14
+cpuminer-opt now supports 32 algorithms on CPUs with at least SSE2
+capabilities including Intel Core2 and AMD equivalent. See the
+performance chart below for details.
 
-Algos
-  - cryptonight algo is now supported on CPUs without AES_NI.
-    All algos now support both CPU architectures.
-  - jane added as an alias for scryptjane with default N-factor 16
+In addition 13 algorithms have optimizations to take advantage of
+CPUs with AES_NI for even greater performance, including the Intel
+Sandy Bridge (Core-i 2xxx) and AMD equivalent.
